"Who leaked the news? He Yuting... Mr. Li's former father is really worrying! - Someone, go and invite Mr. He!"
When Li Ruiyun learned that Princess Huanyu had fled after hearing the news, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he gave the guards on both sides a gloomy command.
He Yuting was accompanied by the housekeeper He Luwei and others, and they arrived quickly. He didn't hesitate at all and confessed directly as to whether Princess Huanyu's escape was a leak to him.
Li Ruiyun was about to have an attack but paused; he seemed to be deep in thought, just lowering his eyebrows and thinking.
Taoist Priest Bai Yu's eyes narrowed, and a cold and violent aura suddenly filled the air. His voice was as cold as ice, "Master He, it seems that you are not planning to cooperate with us, is it?"
He Yuting maintained a calm expression and said calmly: "No."
"Then what's your explanation for this?"
He Yuting said calmly: "What's the explanation for this? Huanyu is the young lady of Lord Marquis's house and He's daughter-in-law. She is a close relative. Naturally, I don't want to watch her suffer innocently."
Bai Yu raised his eyebrows in anger, "You!..."
He Yuting and Taoist Bai Yu looked at each other coolly. His dark eyes were lifeless, and no emotion could be discerned.
The atmosphere in the study became stagnant, filled with a bone-deep coldness.
Li Ruiyun sat high at the top, looking coldly at the two people who were facing each other in front of him. At this time, he said calmly, "Okay, let's stop arguing. Mr. He is a kind-hearted person, and he originally wanted to protect the people in his house. It’s understandable and excusable, so I won’t pursue any further investigation.”
——What, no further investigation?
Everyone felt a little surprised when they heard this. Who doesn’t know Lee Seo-yoon’s iron-fisted methods and cold-blooded murderousness? Anyone who disobeys his will and dares to oppose him will suffer a very tragic fate.
Especially in the past few days, what he has done has become more and more violent - his cruelty, cruelty, and ruthlessness have made everyone who has come into contact with him become pale and frightened.
They never imagined that Li Ruiyun would let it go in an understatement, which almost everyone thought was intolerable!
Is it just because He Yuting was Li Ruiyun's former nominal father? And strictly speaking, He Yuting is not even his nominal father, because Li Ruiyun just pretended to be the eldest son He Chenglin and committed himself to the Marquis's house in order to achieve some of his ulterior motives.
But no matter how everyone speculates or conjectures, it doesn't matter, because no one can see through Li Ruiyun's deep and complicated mind.
At this time, he was looking down at He Yuting, his eyes gradually becoming dark, like a long and endless night.
From the expressionless person standing in front of him, he couldn't help but think of another person.
The expression on Li Ruiyun's face changed erratically, making it difficult to figure out. He pondered for a moment, then waved his hands to everyone, "Okay, nothing happens anymore, you all should step aside!"
Nothing happens anymore, please step back? Is this the end? ...Everyone felt incredible. Even He Yuting himself was a little confused.
But he was too lazy to ask any more questions, and just followed the crowd to the door. Butler He Luwei hurriedly followed behind.
The study room immediately became quite empty. There were only Li Ruiyun, Taoist Bai Yu, Li Zhishan and a few others.
Li Ruiyun carelessly played with the crystal clear, ethereal jade-colored ring in his hand, and said lazily: "By the way, is Ling Yun still in the prison?"
Li Zhishan nodded and said, "Not bad."
Li Ruiyun sneered, "Great! After spinning around, he finally fell into my hands."
As he spoke, he paused briefly and said calmly: "Commander Li, please make arrangements and bring him over to see me immediately!"
Li Ruiyun's voice was low and long, as if he had some inquiring meaning wrapped around the tip of his tongue and tasted it carefully and repeatedly.
What kind of person is Li Zhishan? He has a clear mind. He smiled knowingly when he heard the words and said: "Yes, I will take your orders." He quickly turned around and went out.
Thick clouds have condensed into solid form in the sky, suppressing people's hearts until they can't breathe. The surrounding atmosphere is getting heavier and heavier, as if it is a prelude to the coming storm; there are also rumbling thunder and claws of lightning, giving people a suffocating and even terrifying feeling.
Ling Yun was sitting silently in the cell in a daze at this time. Although it was still the "superior" cell that Emperor Zhao Yu had arranged for him, his mood at this time was completely different from what it was then.
When he first learned from the gossips of the jailers that Li Ruiyun launched a palace coup, imprisoned the emperor, killed Feng Chaoying, the queen, Prince Jinling and others, and seized the jade seal, etc., and a series of events that shocked the world, he was heartbroken at first, and then... Totally desperate.
At this time, he was in pain, hesitant, at a loss, and helpless. Facing what was happening in front of him, he could only watch helplessly, but there was nothing he could do.
He laughed at himself that he had no ability, but he could only sigh like an eagle with broken wings, being tightly imprisoned in this narrow cage.
Only for a moment did he truly realize how little power a person has in the face of the ever-changing situation...
At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door; then the cell door opened, and Li Zhishan rushed in with a dozen wolf-like guards.
Li Zhishan's gaze that glanced over was cold and sharp, piercing straight towards him like a glinting blade, as if he was going to cut the person in front of him into pieces.
"Take it away." He ordered sinisterly.
The guards bared their teeth and claws, and were full of rage. They suddenly rushed forward and pushed him without any explanation.
What was supposed to come finally came. Ling Yun didn't struggle, but he was unusually calm at this time. He stood up without saying a word and followed them outside.
He had long thought that such a day would come. Things in the past are all forgotten; life and death are just a delay of regret. After experiencing many life and death separations, he has taken everything very lightly.
Ling Yun was escorted by them to the royal study room where Emperor Zhao Yu used to work.
After entering the door, he saw Li Ruiyun standing in front of the royal book case, pacing back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back.
He was dressed in brocade and jade, and his figure was as tall as jade. The thick eyebrows slanting into the temples, the blood-red eyes, the slightly aquiline nose, and the slightly sunken corners of the mouth further highlighted the powerful aura exuding from his body.
Seeing Ling Yun being escorted in, Li Ruiyun stopped and looked up and down at the person in front of him with a pair of narrow phoenix eyes with a hint of probing.
Ling Yun still looked as cold, arrogant and calm as before. Slanting and straight eyebrows, clear and sharp black eyes, sexy thin lips, a tall and straight figure, and sharp outlines.
There were heavy shackles on his hands and wrists; he stood there deserted, with an unconcealable look of exhaustion and melancholy in his eyes.
A head of fresh and straight black hair hangs down without a trace at this time, and her cheeks are as pale as smooth fine porcelain; the black hair, the white face, the perfect contrast between black and white, like a piece of dusty jade, revealing the coldness and reserve A bit lonely and desolate.
Li Ruiyun narrowed her eyes slightly and fixed her eyes on his face, with a bit of deliberate teasing in her eyes, "Ling Yun, my eldest son, you and I are really destined! I didn't expect that, going around in a big circle, You've fallen into my hands again - what can you say now?"
Ling Yun's sharp arc outline was tinged with a touch of indifference, "I have nothing to say, just kill if you want!"
Li Ruiyun's phoenix eyes contained a bit of a smile, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, which made people feel frightened. "Ling Yun, aren't you usually very eloquent? Why don't you say anything now? Seriously. Yes, although Mr. Li hates you to the core, he still has a very special feeling for you..."
"If you can change your mind now and kneel down to beg me; then, haha... if you satisfy me again, I might consider letting you go, but only if you can make me happy..."
Looking at Li Ruiyun's evil and malicious eyes, Ling Yun couldn't help but think of the tragic experience in the prison of Qinglong Villa a few days ago. He felt his blood rising with anger and said with gritted teeth: "You are dreaming!..."
Li Ruiyun's eyes were filled with a bit of restlessness, but the smile on his face remained the same, "Ling Yun, then you can't blame me. To be honest, compared to your rebellious and ruthless Emperor of the Song Dynasty, I think I am better than him He is much more affectionate and righteous. He shows no mercy to you and will definitely kill you and then be quick!"
Ling Yun said coldly: "Li Ruiyun, you are just a thief, how can you be compared with the Holy One?"
Li Ruiyun couldn't help but laugh: "Ling Yun, your mouth is still so unforgiving! However, in order to make you understand the truth and give up on your emperor completely, you should take a look at this first!"
With that said, he motioned to Li Zhishan next to him. Li Zhishan understood and took an imperial edict and handed it to Ling Yun.
Ling Yun slowly stretched out his hands that were tightly bound by chains, took the imperial edict with some difficulty, and started to read, but saw the letter:
"By God's will, the emperor issued an edict:
Ling Yun, the former second-grade guard commander, entered the palace without permission and plotted evil. Later, he robbed the prison and killed the imperial guards, causing harm to the capital and causing cholera to the court. His crimes were numerous and unforgivable; and because he had been loyal to the country and served the imperial court, Therefore, he was given a lighter sentence according to the circumstances and sentenced to death by beheading. The execution was carried out outside the Meridian Gate at three o'clock in the afternoon three days later.
Admire this! "
It turned out that this was the imperial edict that Emperor Zhao Yu had not yet issued.
Ling Yun finished reading from beginning to end, his face became a little pale, his lips trembled, but he didn't say anything.
Li Ruiyun stared at the changes in Ling Yun's face without blinking, and said deliberately: "Ling Yun, how do you feel now?"
Ling Yun twitched the corner of his lips in a self-deprecating tone, and his expression quickly returned to normal, and he said calmly: "I don't have any thoughts, this is what was expected. Ling Yun originally committed a serious crime and should be executed according to the law, and the Lord's judgment was correct. "
Li Ruiyun's eyes darkened, and he said speechlessly: "Ling Yun, it seems that you are really foolishly loyal to your emperor! I've seen that there really are people as stubborn as you in the world!"
Ling Yun's clear black and white eyes were full of calmness, and he smiled slightly and said: "Gang Leader Li made a strong statement."
"Ling Yun, let me ask you again -" The coldness in Li Ruiyun's eyes almost solidified, and he said word by word: "You are determined to be loyal to that foolish king now and are unwilling to change your mind, right?" …
